Hi Guys,
I am 23 and I have suffered with anxiety for about 8 years.
I want to talk about it because I don't talk about it enough.
Every day of my life is a constant struggle of wondering what people are thinking about me, feeling like i stand out like a sore thumb, feeling like every time somebody looks at me they are thinking the worst.
I have always lacked confidence and self esteem.
Every time I am out I have clammy sweaty hands and am in a constant state of panic.
I have a small panic attack 9 times out of 10 when i go on public transport (Underground In particular)
about 6 weeks ago I had a very severe panic attack and it completely threw my breathing off.
Now I have this feeling of air hunger, Feeling like I cannot get a satisfying breath, I have been to the doctors countless times but they all say the same thing, My oxygen levels are perfect I dont have asthma my chest is completely clear.
I have felt a lot of horrible symptoms from anxiety but this is by far the worst feeling of them all, It almost feels as if I am suffocating!
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Any way this is part of my story/struggle lol
